STARSHIP OF BONE AND OTHER FAVOURITES
I have compiled an assortment of (mostly) Canadian home recordings for your enjoyment. If you listen closely, you might notice that some of these “low-fi” musicians are also cartoonists. Some are not. Many do other things besides cartooning and/or music making. One is a defense lawyer. Another is a librarian. At least one of them is involved in the carpentry trade and there is a shopkeeper and a “seasonal” worker in the mix. There is one in particular I know nothing about other than the fact that he seems to enjoy watching television.
Thanks to Kip Jackson for lending me some of his archives. A few of the artists I could not reach and so I hope they don’t mind being part of this informal collection.
